Ideas for an attractive bed guard

My tween daughter has epilepsy that causes seizures sometimes when she sleeps. We’ve had the mattress on the floor, but we’d like to put it on a bed frame and put a nice guardrail around it. Hopefully the guardrail could be something like wooden. After her seizures started she suddenly hit puberty way early, so she’s a big kid — one of these crate & barrel toddler guards wouldn’t do.

Has anyone had luck finding something like this?

Please go online, in the UK there are many places where you can buy bed rails either the rails themselves which you attach to your own bed or beds and divans with rails attached. Mobility shops here in the UK also stock them. Looking online I can see may wooden beds or teenage bed /storage units that are very attractive in wood. Best of luck.
